In the age of technology, we can make friends through our screens, which is changing the way we connect with people, for better or for worse.
In primary schools, we made friends with our classmates. We played together after class, worked on group tasks, and traded items from our lunches—all of which we did face to face. In the modern age, we communicate our feelings and interests through carefully organized words and emojis online. This leads to the question: Is it right to choose friends just by how they look online
In fact, real “face time” gives us the chance to connect on a deeper level and share the ups and downs of life that can’t be shared on the Internet. Usually, the interests we share online are a reflection (反映) of our interests offline. But make sure to connect outside of our screens, too.
One way is to do some tasks with people around you. It may sound too simple, but it will help you relive (重新体验) the way you made friends on the primary school playground. One fun example would be making a DIY project together. When we’re surfing the Internet on our own, we can spend hours and never actually make an item. But when we meet offline to work, the happiness comes from trying something new with a friend.
We don’t have to ignore (忽视) the good things that come from an Internet connection, but we really should balance them with quality face time.
29.How did the writer make friends in the primary school
A. By giving gifts to each other.
B. By playing and sharing things.
C. By writing letters and messages.
D. By joining online interest groups.
30.What does the writer think about real “face time”
A. It is not as important as online chatting.
B. It can show all of our interests in real life.
C. It should include organized words and emojis.
D. It allows us to connect deeply and share our life.
31.What is the writer’s advice on friendships
A. Making more real friends offline than online.
B. Going back to the primary school with friends often.
C. Balancing online connections with quality face time.
D. Spending more time working together with friends online.

CLASSICAL ERA
The term “classical” is often used to tell the difference between serious music and popular music. The symphony (交响乐) developed in this period. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there were two most famous composers (作曲家).
Mozart was a talented composer and performed all over Europe at six. He wrote the famous opera The Magic Flute. The German composer Beethoven was completely deaf for the last 10 years of his life but continued to compose some of the greatest music in the world. Symphony No. 5 is one of them. His late works moved toward the Romantic movement.
ROMANTIC MOVEMENT
From about 1820, composers started using new harmonies (和声) and forms to create music full of different emotions (情绪). Composers cared more about creating dramas, painting pictures in sound, or telling stories.
The Russian composer Tchaikovsky was unhappy in his personal life, which brought great emotional depth to his music. He wrote many well-known works, including the famous 1812 Overture.
MODERN MUSIC
In the 20th century, there were great changes in serious music. The music composed by Stravinsky was difficult for people to understand. Stravinsky’s The Firebird caused a sensation at its first performance in Paris in 1910. It was a big success. The music was so different and powerful that it made the young composer famous across Europe. The German Stockhausen challenged listeners’ ideas about music. In Zyklus, for example, he let the drummer start playing from any page of the music, and then play it in their own order.
COMPUTER COMPOSITION
Computers can help composers write music. The composer can use an electronic instrument (电子乐器) to enter the melodies into the computer, where they can be stored, changed, and printed out.
32.According to the passage, what information can be put on the timeline
A. The Firebird; Mozart B. Symphony No. 9; Stravinsky
C. The Magic Flute; Chopin D. Symphony No. 5; Stockhausen
33.What do you know about Tchaikovsky and his music
A. His music is always happy and joyful.
B. He composed worse when he was sad.
C. His personal feelings influenced his music.
D. He only composed music about his own life.
34.What may “ caused a sensation” mean according to the text
A. It was forgotten at once.
B. It was a piece of modern music.
C. Everyone found it easy to understand.
D. It created great excitement and surprise.
35.What is the best title for the passage
A. The Great Composers B. Composers’ Role in Music
C. A Brief History of Musical Styles D. How Composers Create Music
D
Characters Nasrettin: a wise man Berna: the servant (仆人) Ahmet: a guest Serkan: the host Narrator: a person who tells a story
Narrator: One day, Nasrettin saw a goat making a mess in a kitchen. He helped the owner catch it and then hurried to a dinner. He arrived at the home of his rich friend in his worn-out coat. He was also dirty and smelling of goat.
Serkan: [quite surprised by his friend’s shabby (衣衫褴褛的) appearance] Nasrettin, come in. My servant will seat you.
Berna: [sniffing (嗅) the smelly coat] Follow me to the far end of the table, sir.
Ahmet: It is Nasrettin, at the end of the table. He keeps trying to start a conversation, but who wants to talk to such a shabby man
Nasrettin: [saying to himself] Each of my friends wears his best coat, while I sit here, alone and hungry, in my worn-out coat—dirty and smelling of goat. I’d rather go home.
Narrator: So, Nasrettin left quickly on his grey donkey. At home, he bathed in hot water, washed himself clean, and dressed in a shining silk coat. Everyone nodded respectfully to Nasrettin as he headed back to his rich friend’s home.
Serkan: [smiling] Welcome, my friend. Servant, seat Nasrettin at the best place and serve him our finest food and drink at once!
Ahmet: [smiling to Nasrettin] What a fine coat you are wearing!
Berna: Some nice lamb chops, sir
Nasrettin: Thank you [putting the lamb chop inside his coat]. Eat. Eat, coat!
Berna: May I interest you in delicious fried fish, sir
Nasrettin: Yes, thank you [opens his coat to put in food]. Eat. Eat, coat!
Serkan: Old friend, tell me, why are you feeding your coat
Nasrettin: You surely wanted my coat to eat. When I first got here, with my worn-out coat, there was no food for me. Yet when I returned in this new coat, there was every kind of food. This means it was the coat, and not me, that you invited to your dinner.
Serkan: How foolish I am!

Jane Goodall is a well-known scientist who has devoted her life to studying chimpanzees (大猩猩) and protecting wildlife and their natural homes. She was born on April 3, 1934, in London. From a young age, Jane loved animals and wanted to know everything about nature. This strong interest led her to achieve great success in primatology (灵长类动物学).
As a child, Jane wished to live in Africa with wild animals around. Her dream came true in 1957 when she visited a friend in Kenya. There, she met Louis Leakey, a famous scientist who studied early humans. Leakey was impressed by Jane’s passion and offered her a job to study chimpanzees in the wild.
In 1960, Jane began her important research in Gombe Stream National Park. She was only 26 years old. With great patience, she watched the chimpanzees and wrote down everything she saw. Unlike other researchers, Jane gave the chimps names like David and Flo, which helped her form close relationships with them.
Jane made several amazing discoveries (发现). She saw chimpanzees using tools—for example, using sticks to “fish” for termites (白蚁) in their nests. Before this, people thought only humans used tools. Her findings changed how we see animals and their intelligence.
In 1965, Jane got a Ph.D．in Ethology from the University of Cambridge. What made this special was that she didn’t go to university before—her experience in the field was the best way she learnt.
Besides, Jane started the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977, which works to save chimpanzees and their home.
Over the years, Jane has received many awards for what she did to science and conservation (保护). She once said, “You have something in your power to make a difference. Don’t give up.”

46.【答案】Dear Xinyue,
Thank you for your letter. I understand how disappointed you must feel after working so hard. Many students face similar challenges in English learning.
First, identify your weak areas—grammar, vocabulary, or reading—and focus on them. Try keeping a notebook for useful expressions and review it often. Also, practice listening and speaking by watching English videos or talking with classmates.
Remember, progress takes time. Don’t compare yourself with others. Celebrate small improvements, and be consistent. I’m sure your efforts will pay off soon.
Best wishes,
Amy
